I won't confront sis (just not good at that sort of thing and I don't want to hurt her feelings, besides I don't talk to her that often). She'd never say anything to my dad about how she feels, but I'm with you on the age thing. He's 72 years old and my feeling is why does he feel he has to always work. He deserves to retire now and enjoy the rest of his life (he joined the military at 16 to support his family, then at 24 met my mom and had 3 kids and always has worked just about every day of his life - I think the guy needs a break and time to enjoy whatever time he has left here). He's in okay health (nothing major, just diabetes, and an ankle that bothers him from time to time from being pinned). Sis and I talk over the messenger and if she brings it up again I'll just tell her its not fair to think that someone at 72, who has their cemetary plot, their whole live spent in one area where their friends and family are should pick up and relocate with nothing and start from the beginning. Also, if he was to relocate and his job went away what would he do then. I'll just tell her that nobody at 72 years old who has been with the same woman for over 25 years (whether you like her or not) and has a house with her and pets should just be told to just box it all up and move and make her live on her own. I just don't think that way. Thanks for your words. They did help and glad to know not everything is always black and white.

I saw your post below with your "babies" - they are adorable. I assume the person in the picture is you - it's nice to "meet" someone we talk to on this board.
I think your resolution is a great one also, and a very difficult one at that. May you have all the strength inside of you to accomplish this! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
Hey Emily Ayn... Where'd ya go??
 Haven't seen you here in a couple weeks. You okay?
to Emily Ayn
I've seen your posts before and I just have to say - you have one lucky niece. It is going to be great for her to grow up being involved with a wonderful and very pretty aunt like you.. You can be a great influence on her and I know you will be! She must take after her aunt - she is pretty too!

You asked for pics? Well here you go! LOL
This is Blackjack, my 2 yr old stud colt. He isn't scared of anything!
That door is my garage! the front is closed, so the only way he got in was to go up those stone steps. As you can see he already terrorized everything in the backyard! Not to mention, when you walk in that doorway there are cabinets on the left and a freezer about three feet in, so there was barely any room to squeeze in! (Also a lawn mower is parked in there, and all kinds of other crap!)
He also likes to walk up trailers that teeter-totter (like the ones they use to haul tractors) and I believe he would come in the house if I let him!
